Getting a Haircut, Straight Razor Shave, and More...For 100 Baht!

Now I'm no metro sexual. Far from it. But I have to admit, I do like how men are pampered here in Thailand. I get manicures and pedicures, I get my feet scrubbed, I'll get a massage once in a while, and anytime I get a haircut, I almost always get a shave. If that's not enough, I get my ear and nose hairs trimmed and the wax cleaned out of my ears. Some might think it's a bit much, but not me.

What makes it even better is the low cost. The last time I got my hair cut in the United States was when I actually had a full head of hair. It's been nearly 20 years. A simple haircut ran $10-$12 plus a $5 tip.

Here in Thailand I get a hair cut, shave, nose and ear hair trim plus the wax cleaned out of my ears for 100 baht or $3.25. I get a manicure, pedicure, and foot scrub for 500 baht, or $16.60. It took me a while to accept going into a beauty salon but I deserved to be pampered. Thailand is one of the best places to be in the world if you like being pampered. Not many men are going to disagree with this.
